Has anyone carried a Gen 1 in the bed of a pick-up?

Tie the bike upright so it's not resting on the center stand or side stand, if shipped this way some thing isn't going to be the way it was at the beginning of the trip. I used two 2" X 12"s (nailed together underneath with cross members) and another 3 men to help, it was a bit scary too. Back up to some thing that will allow the ramp to be less steep, the flatter the ramp the better. The back of the truck is awfully high above the ground to be messing around with this amount of unstable weight, the flatter the ramp the better you'll like it. Trust me.

I’ve done it a number of times but...I also have a motorcycle loader in my truck so I don’t crash trying to ride into the bed.
